She also heard sad news today, on a more personal note. Kay was enrolled in the phase 1 PARP inhibitor trial along with 7 other patients. Kay found out today that she is the only one of the eight still on the PARP inhibitor. All of the others have either died, had progression of their tumors, or developed problems that made them stop the PARP inhibitor. We don't quite know what to think of this but are pleased that Kay is doing well.
Since I last posted Kay and I have been busy having as much fun as possible. We spent a great 4-day weekend in Petaluma and Sonoma visiting Ann Heatley and John 3 weekends ago, and this past weekend spent 4 days at Orcas Island staying at Jane Hostvedt's vacation home there. Both weekends were great times. In Petaluma lots of time with friends and family, and this past weekend lots of time for just Kay and me.
So far Kay is enjoying the remission, and we are praying for a long stretch of recovery and rejuvenation. Lent has been a good time to reflect on our blessings.
The family continues to thrive. Dad is doing well adjusting to live without Mom, and I'm hoping I can have him out for Brett's graduation in June. Kay and I have another vacation set for May in NYC. Back to where it all began for us.
Thanks for all your prayers and support.
Ed
